The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) of India has strongly refuted a Reuters report claiming that Indian-made artillery shells sold to European countries, such as Italy and the Czech Republic, have been diverted to Ukraine for over a year. The MEA spokesperson, Randhir Jaiswal, called the report 'speculative and misleading,' asserting that India has an impeccable track record of compliance with international export obligations. Reuters’ report, based on interviews with multiple government and industry officials and customs data analysis, alleged that India has not intervened despite protests from Russia. The report also stated that the munitions form a very small portion of Ukraine's total arms imports. The MEA emphasized its robust legal framework governing arms exports and dismissed any notion of India violating international agreements.
